My Bowl of Red
As I have been doing of late, I leaned heavily on Cindy Reed's Terlingua winning recipe. This time I used mostly "light" chili powder found at a local spice store. Couldn't find the two Hotch mentioned yesterday, but this worked well. As a result, I finally got a bowl of RED, not brown! Instead of her serranos, I floated two anchos and one habanero for most of the cook. Added a second hab toward the end. The meat was a 3 pound bottom round roast I found on sale for $2.88 per pound! I added an onion and a small can of diced no salt added tomatoes, neither were in her recipe. Not a single bean, though I was tempted.
Speaking of "best ever" chili... this sure was mine!
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

I almost tried this batch in the PC. Never have. Would have to play around with the timing for the multiple dumps in this recipe. It's too good to want to screw it up.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Hotch posted Cindy's recipe, but you are the one who introduced me to her chili in the first place. With the seasoning packet you sent. Do yourself a favor and try this stuff from scratch.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

As for the pasta and cheese, I don't think Cincinnati is what she had in mind when she called it Cin Chili.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Great lookin' chili right there!
The problem with beans in chili is the beans take up space where meat and spices could be.

Looks great Michael! Although I do prefer beans in my chili. Lots of meat but, always beans.LBGE 2013 & MM 2014Die Hard HUSKER & BRONCO FANFlying Low & Slow in "Da Burg" FL

Tasty looking meal.

I have to say, I like that Bowl of Red.
Beans in chili are fine. (Although meat is preferable, beans do a nice job of lowering the fat and cholesterol per serving, allowing us to eat more chili. There is ALWAYS a silver lining. As long as you don't try to serve me bean and bulgur chili.)

Fish, that recipe is close, at a quick glance anyway. Here's where I started...

I have done this recipe with and without beans. Both are delicious. If you add beans, it lasts longer.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Do the serrano peppers do much just floating? Or do you cut them open first?

I don't think it would make any difference as long as you seeded them and removed the membrane. If you split them open and left those in place, I would think it would be hotter. Could be wrong though - I'm far from a chili expert... Very far!!I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!
